Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a high-resolution imaging device with wide field and extended focus comprising a beam generator for generating a plurality of nondiffracting beams and a scanning mechanism for moving the plurality of nondiffracting beams relative to the object to illuminate a volume of the object. The high-resolution imaging device also comprises surface element and a body having a light detector layer outside the surface element. The light detector layer has a light detector configured to measure light data associated with the plurality of nondiffracting beams illuminating the volume of the object. In some cases, the high-resolution imaging device also includes a lens inside of the light detector layer. The lens is configured to focus the light on the light detector surface.
